Sovereign are the ones who carry gentleness like armor
and stubborn joy like a torch.

Noah builds an alter after leaving the Ark
Jubilees 6:1
And on the new moon of the third month he went forth from the ark,
and built an altar on that mountain.

Which Bible Should You Read? And Why That’s the Wrong Question: the.lxxscrolls.com …Hello brothers and sisters. This is one of the most common questions Christians ask. Walk into any church small group, post it on any Christian forum, or ask any pastor after service, and you’ll get the same question in a dozen variations: “Which Bible translation is the most reliable?” “What’s the best Bible for serious study?” “Should I read the ESV or the NIV?” “Is the KJV still the best?” I saw a version of this question just the other day here on Substack, and it stopped me in my tracks. Not because it’s a bad question. It’s a perfectly natural one. But because lurking beneath it is an assumption that most Christians never think to examine. The assumption is this: somewhere behind all these English translations, there is one single, authoritative original text, and the “best” translation is the one that gets closest to it. It sounds reasonable. It feels obvious. And it’s not entirely wrong. But it’s not entirely right, either. …The Question Behind the Question, A Brief Word on Translation Philosophy, The Translations: King James Version (KJV) — 1611; New King James Version (NKJV) — 1982; New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition (NRSVue) — 2021; New American Standard Bible (NASB) — 1971 / 1995 / 2020; plus many, may more (can you guess I’ll be diving into some of these?), My Recommendation: A Study Stack – “So after all of that, which Bible should you read. All of them. Okay, I’m kidding. Partially. In fact, I do think that being exposed to numerous translations can only benefit the believer. I myself just recently completed a parallel read of the NKJV, The Message, and the Septuagint, which makes a total of ten different translations that I’ve read.”
